Powerboater's Guide to Electrical Systems, Second Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The information within this book is exactly what I was after and is explained in manner that even I could understand. The author has done a wonderful job and should be commended for that, however, the publisher has let him down dramatically.
The book presents as a well manufactured, UV coated, case bound cover but that is as far as the quality goes. After paying top price for an American printed book one would and should expect the quality of paper for the text to be a shade better than the lick coated, cheap rubbish that has been used. It is the next thing to a work shop manual, so how about trying to build in just a little more robustness into it's production? It's like trying to produce the dead sea scrolls on newsprint. Must frustrate the author no end. Good info, poorly put together.
